Serb Volunteer Guard

The Serb Volunteer Guard (SDG) was a Serbian volunteer paramilitary unit founded and led by Zeljko Raznatovic that was active from 1990 to 1996 during the Croatian War of Independence and the Bosnian War. The SDG initially saw action in the Vukovar region of Croatia, and it was supplied and equipped from the reserves of the Serbian police force. The Guard took part in ethnic cleansing in Bijeljina and Zvornik, and many of its members were tried for war crimes after the wars' conclusion in 1995.
